*Death Guard: Mortarion, Daemon Primarch of Nurgle 20% Off
For ten thousand years Mortarion, Lord of the Death Guard, has crushed
his enemies upon the field of battle. Surrounded by chittering Daemon
mites, droning flies and noxious plague vapours, Mortarion swoops into
battle on vast, creaking wings. the thudding beat of these foul pinions
fills the enemy with crawling dread, even as they waft the reek of death
across their lines. To even stand in the presence of the Death Lord is
lethal, opponents choking and collapsing as they succumb to the myriad
plagues that churn the air around him.
This multi-part plastic kit contains the components necessary to
assemble Mortarion, Daemon Primarch of Nurgle. This is a towering model –
the word ‘miniature’ barely does it justice, as he looms over the rest
of the Death Guard and gives even Bloodthirsters something to look up
to! He is clad in baroque power armour known as the Barbaran Plate –
this is covered in rust and rot, with skulls, spikes and Nurgle
symbolism on each of the chunky components. Mouldering robes, chains and
a rotten cowl hang from this armour, partially covering the system of
pipes that feed his breathing apparatus – it is safe to assume that this
ventilator isn’t delivering fresh and clean air to Mortarion, rather
vile spores and disease.
He is armed with 2 foul weapons: a massive scythe named Silence, a
rusting yet razor-sharp blade featuring brutal chain-teeth, stained with
the blood of worlds and capable even of hacking a Reaver Titan to
pieces; and The Lantern, an ancient energy pistol. There are two
modelling options for these weapons – one option features the weapons
down by Mortarion’s side, the other features a much more aggressive
pose.
Mortarion features huge, decaying wings – these are modelled with
pockmarks, holes and tears, representing the horror and decay of
Nurgle’s hordes. Speaking of Nurgle’s hordes, there are plenty of extras
with this kit – 2 Nurgling Drones carrying phosphex bombs hang from the
chains on Mortarion’s armour, with a further 3 on the base: 1 carries a
Chaos icon, one waves a censer and one carries a tank of unmentionably
horrid substances. The base itself is detailed with rocks which
themselves are being corrupted by the foul presence of the Daemon
Primarch.
Mortarion, Daemon Primarch of Nurgle comes as 78 components, and is supplied with a Citadel 100mm Round base.
